    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 97-6379

    PHILIP SCOTT FURR,


    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA; ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
    SOUTH CAROLINA,
    Respondents - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    South Carolina, at Florence. Henry M. Herlong, Jr., District Judge.
    (CA-96-2952-4-20BE)
    Submitted:

    June 19, 1997

    Decided:

    June 30, 1997

    Before WILKINS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior


    Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Philip Scott Furr, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 &
    Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's
    opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
    find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
    court. Furr v. South Carolina, No. CA-96-2952-4-20BE (D.S.C. Feb.
    14, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
    legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
    the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

    DISMISSED
